Recharge the instrument immediately if the LED indicates a low-battery condition.
Even if the instrument is Idle all or most of the time, recharge it fully at least once every 6
months.
Do not store or operate the instrument at temperatures exceeding the following limits
-20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F)
Do not mount on a metal plate. That would drastically weaken the WiFi™ signal.

Getting Started

4.1

Software Installation

On the PC that is used to setup the instrument, run Instrument_Manager_Installer.exe. This
installs the Instrument_Manager application, as well as its USB driver and documentation.
On the PC that is used as a server, to collect data over the network, run
Instrument_Listener_Installer.exe. This installs the listener application that is used to respond
to instrument incoming connections, and create and fill the corresponding data files.
Note:
The same PC can be used for both applications.
Note:
Perform the software installation above BEFORE connecting the instrument to the PC for the
first time. The installer includes a USB driver, which is required for the PC to recognize the instrument.
4.2

Hardware Installation

1. Connect the instrument to an available USB port on the PC.
2. Verify that the PC properly detects the instrument and loads the driver. In case of doubt see
section Troubleshooting. Note that it can take some time for the PC to load the driver, the first
time the instrument is connected.
4.3

Initial Test and Configuration

1. Upon connection to the PC, the charge LED should immediately light-up yellow (charging) or
green (charged). Once the PC has loaded the driver the operating LED should blink once per
second.
2. Go
into
Start\All
Instrument_Manager.exe. The front-panel described in
tries to connect to the instrument. If it fails to find the instrument it indicates No Device Found. If
this is the case see section
3. Otherwise the application switches-on the ABC-MEMS and starts communicating with it.
